Hi Alexander,

recommended workflow for website (I'm planning to write a better 
document also):

NOT translate on Github, but use transifex for translation; Transifex is 
the canonical holder of the latest translations. We only pull from 
transifex for a new build of the website.

You can either translate in transifex web-interface, OR download a file 
from transifex (it get's locked fo 24 hours then), and upload it after 
finishing.

We have to think about a proces in which maybe a language coordinator 
will periodically push fresh gettext po files to transifex (AFTER 
pulling the latest from transifex), but we have to figure this out.

If you did use Github po files: either upload the translated po files to 
transifex via the webinterface of transifex, or sent the files to me.

About translation using git. please do a pull request or just sent the 
files to me (or upload them via transifex yourself: you are russian 
coordinator :-) ).

Feel free to ask If this is not clear enough

Regards,

Richard
